Chapter 166 Suspicion

Yi Xingen's pregnancy could be separated from male and female before returning to the palace, but Yun Fenghuang never asked about it, and no one else dared to mention it.

Asked now, even though he was talking alone in the inner room, Xie Hengyu looked left and right, and Fang whispered: "The imperial doctor did not dare to say clearly, but the meaning behind the words is probably a...princess."

She was quite sorry when she said this.

Although it is said that the emperor's knees are empty so far, regardless of the princess and the prince, they are precious heirs, but no matter what, the prince is more important.

Yun Fenghuang was also a little bit regretful, but said immediately: "It's okay, I don't have other concubines under my command, let Qu Shi sleep with her a few more times later, I hope she can win a little bit."

Qu Hongzhuan was second only to Yi Xing'en in appearance in the same batch, so he had served quite a few times.

It's just that not long after he was sent to Xingxintang to serve, he was instructed by Yun Fenghuang to use bitter tricks to pick things up, and fell off the cliff, so that he lay on the couch for a long time to recuperate, and was only recently included in the list of servants.

At this moment, Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, and said to Xie Hengyu: "I will mention Qu's name later, pick some clothes and hairpins that suit her, and let her come to the main hall to serve more in the future. It is also convenient for me to give Recommended by His Majesty."

Xie Hengyu nodded: "The maid will take care of it."

She is very much in favor of Yun Fenghuang doing this, after all, because of Yi Xingen's happiness, during this period of time, the basic necessities of Xuanqing Palace, together with Yun Fenghuang's care and love, as well as promotion of status, all obviously favored Yi Xingen.

As a close servant, Xie Hengyu couldn't help worrying that this Yigui would be spoiled.

There is nothing better than promoting a Qu Hongzhuan to balance it.

"Actually, it would be nice for Yi Shi to give birth to a princess right now." Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, then sighed, "Your Majesty's status is not stable now, and it is unlikely that he will agree to establish a crown prince in recent years...so if it is a prince, Especially the eldest son of the emperor, even if he likes it in his heart, he can't dote on him too much. But the princess is fine, especially since Yi came from a poor family, and Ben Gong is not from a famous family. Yi was born beautiful, and the princess should look the same It's not bad, it must be cute, and we will take good care of it when the time comes, so we won't suffer any losses."

Of course, this is the only way to comfort himself because he can't raise a cheap prince. In fact, if Yi Xingen can get a boy in one fell swoop this time, Yun Fenghuang has plenty of ways to make long-term plans for the child.

To put it bluntly, if she had a son now, she wouldn't even care about Chunjia's life or death.

After all, no matter being a queen mother or a king dowager, isn't it more comfortable than being a concubine?

Unfortunately, bad luck.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician may not be able to determine for sure." Xie Hengyu knew it well, so he comforted him, "Whether the emperor's heir is a man or a woman can only be determined after he is born."

Yun Fenghuang nodded, and then asked if he had heard about the other people who were pregnant with Liujia?

Xie Hengyu shook his head: "Yue Xiuyuan has been following the loving mother Empress Dowager, according to her instructions, she would rather be careful not to intrude on the loving mother Empress Dowager's investigation, and was determined not to be noticed by the loving mother Empress Dowager, so there was no progress; as for the noble concubine, Zhao Cairen has been lying in bed since returning to the palace, and our people can't even see her face to face. Shun Jieyu's life is still short, but it's hard to say."

And Ji Muzi was left in the palace by the Empress Dowager and Ji... Otherwise, Concubine Zheng would definitely not help Ji Muzi cover up.

"That's it." Yun Fenghuang scolded the empress, noble concubine and others in his heart for being useless, and muttered, "Forget it, it is more likely that the left and right Yis will give birth to a princess, so these people don't care whether they have boys or girls, so I won't care too much about it." Empresses and concubines can bear it, why can't I resist it?"

Although she especially hopes that the empress and concubine will have a better future and get rid of Yuan Niangniang.

It's not that Yun Fenghuang is afraid of Yuan Miuniang, since she entered the palace, she hasn't paid much attention to Yuan Miuniang, the key is the Empress Dowager Yuan.

Especially Yuan Cairen, oh, after being promoted before, it should be Yuan Meiren. Yuan Meiren was drugged by Yuan Lianniang, but the Queen Mother Yuan still defends Yuan Lianniang more. We know that the Queen Mother Yuan still has feelings for Yuan Lianniang.

No, it should be said that the Empress Dowager Yuan, at least on the scene, defended Yuan Niangniang.

This empress dowager is not as easy to deal with as Yuan Niangniang, and when it comes to the relationship with Chunjia, Qingmei can forget it, the wife can renew, and the concubines can be re-elected... The kind mother empress dowager who raised him single-handedly is unique.

Although Yun Fenghuang would not say that he has no confidence in the empress dowager Yuan, it still gives him a headache just thinking about it.

The best situation is of course that Yuan Lianniang doesn't want to give birth to a prince, or she can't give birth at all-but people like Empress Ji and Zheng Guifei don't know if they are afraid of being suppressed during this period of time, and they clearly have 100,000 hopes in their hearts Yuan Niangniang died twice, but she was indifferent.

They don't move when they look cold, and Yun Fenghuang, a favorite concubine who is being supported by the Queen Mother Yuan's mother and son, can't afford to risk her own future.

So now, everyone hopes that Yuan Lianniang is not good, but everyone hopes that others will do it, and they will reap the rewards, and even take advantage of it afterwards.

Well, so Yuan Lianniang calmly didn't want it.

Yun Fenghuang groaned and lay on the couch for two days. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was just around the corner, so she didn't dare to lie down for too long. On the third day, she went to pay her respects to the queen. Empress Ji sized her up and said lightly: " The real concubine is very good at serving people, so I haven't seen you for two days, but I feel a little plump."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise." Yun Fenghuang pursed his lips and smiled, "These clumsy people around me, how can they compare with the servants in the middle palace? My Majesty was ill in the palace for a long time before, and I thought you would I have done my filial piety by staying in front of the Empress Dowager, who knew that before I rushed back, it would be fine if I agreed, it can be seen that the left and right sides are well served. Of course, this is also because of the empress's deep blessings and good health."

Concubine Zheng and the others watched cheerfully holding the tea bowls, neither interfering nor stopping them.

Empress Ji glanced around, took a sip of tea, and lightly changed the topic: "It's about time, it's time to go to Spring Palace."

A group of people marched to the Spring Palace. The Queen Mother Yuan is still not fully recovered at the moment, but she still braces herself to accept the greetings. For the fact that the queen who watched Ji's family bowed her head in front of her every day, if it was Yun Fenghuang, she would definitely feel the victory at this moment without sunset.

"Kunze is here today?" Although Empress Dowager Yuan is in her early days, Empress Dowager Qu is still not qualified to accept the daily greetings from her daughters-in-law, and the Princess Kunze she raised is rarely in front of concubines show up.

Today, Princess Kunze is sitting beside the Empress Dowager, held by the Empress Dowager. After the concubines are seated, Empress Ji naturally wants to ask.

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "This child has always been detained by your Queen Mother Qu, and it's rare for the Ai family to see her. I came to pay my respects two days ago, and the Ai family saw that she is getting older, and it's time to learn something. You can’t always be dignified and royal, and you don’t know this or that.”

Regardless of the mood of the next group of daughter-in-laws, the queen mother said to herself, "That's it, Kunze, you will follow your sister-in-law later, and let your sister-in-law teach you something."

"Empress mother, daughter-in-law is dull." Empress Ji's face changed for a moment, then she lowered her head to ask for instructions, "Sister Kunze is smart and noble, she is an unusual woman, but daughter-in-law doesn't know, how should I teach my younger sister?"

Empress Dowager Yuan's tone was casual: "Aren't you guys busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet? Just let her do the work and run errands. After all, it doesn't look good for such a big girl to stay at home all the time."

He also said, "Kunze is just a princess after all, and his identity is different from Minghui and the others. If you don't learn something, you will be laughed at when you leave the cabinet... These things should have been taught by your mother Qu, but you I also know that Sister Qu hasn't asked about world affairs for a long time, and she doesn't quite know how things are going on now. Aijia thought, there are festivals in the left and right palaces to be busy, let Kunze wait a little longer Knowledge is also good."

She smiled and asked the queen, "What? Is this difficult? It's okay to be difficult."

"The queen mother was joking. With the help of my younger sister, the daughter-in-law is too late to be happy, so how could it be difficult?" Empress Ji took a breath, and looked at Yun Fenghuang behind her, "Isn't the real concubine?"

Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "Of course."

After deciding on this matter, we will greet each other with the Queen Mother... I have to say that Queen Mother Yuan is more approachable than Queen Ji.

In front of Empress Dowager Ji before, there was basically no place for other concubines to talk except Empress Ji Ji Muzi.

Even the two concubines, Concubine Shu, dare not make a sound for nothing.

At most, Princess Minghui is here, trying to flatter the princess—this topic is not risky. For Empress Dowager Ji, as long as the concubines other than Ji's daughter speak, she loves to hear about Princess Minghui, and she only loves to listen to them Say this.

But Empress Dowager Yuan took the initiative to provoke the topic, greeting and caring one by one, and slowly talking about the concubines, even the pregnant and outstanding concubines would greet them.

Even if she knew that she was deliberately buying people's hearts, with the Empress Dowager Ji as a foil, she really couldn't help feeling a little fond of her.

Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, at this moment, Empress Ji is at the forefront, and of course this empress dowager supports him more than oppresses him.

But in the future, when the Ji family falls, I don't know what attitude the Empress Dowager Yuan will have towards him?

As far as the number of ranks of the queen mother is concerned, it is really difficult to deal with if she is an enemy.

Well, in other words, the queen mother knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was supposed to honor her as a real concubine, but she stuffed a Queen Kunze over her eyes. What does it mean?

Princess Kunze is Chunjia's younger sister, and she is younger than Minghui and the others. The royal daughter does not worry about marrying, and the emperor's only biological sister is even more worried about not being able to find a suitable county horse. The most important thing is the concubine—could it be that the Queen Mother Yuan is now on guard, using Yunfenghuang to divide the queen's power, and then using Kunze princess to check and balance Yunfenghuang?

Soon it was time for everyone to leave, and the Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and looked at Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan: "The Ai family hasn't spoken to you for a few days, you should stay and have a meal with the Ai family."
